I bought a battery from one of the resellers on Amazon and it was terrible. I returned it the next day. Be careful which resellers you purchased from. Go to a reputable business. I bought a battery from Duracelldirect.com and it was great. You can key in your model number and it'll give you the right battery to get. Hope that helps.

A proprietary battery like one you'd see in a camera or camcorder. Spares are available from Amazon.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

I think you may need to exchange it. Mine has never run out that quick. I get a very long battery run from it.

I would highly recommend the battery the manufacturer spec'd for this unitfor worry free operation. Get it at Home depot, or other stores.

Bring the burned out battery to any electronics store and just let the sales rep know that that one is burnt out and that you want the same battery. The battery on my model is still good.

Hi,I have been following the thread as I also would like to have a backup in case of power outage to plug in my PC or reading lights, a coffee maker :)The battery mentioned seems to be hard to get, do you have an alternative?

I don't know about that one. I haven't needed other batteries Try searching the number on the battery. Or the same seller from your phone.

I would go to the National Products website npl2 . com and email customer service to see if you can purchase a battery separately. We do not sell replacement parts.

Neither. This battery isn't programmed like the other batteries. When you pop it in it will say cannot communicate with battery(you click ok) and start using it. Then after a long time, the battery will die and you dont know when. But they give 2 batteries and i think its a good trade instead of spending 200$ on the name brand.

No you cannot change the battery. So buying a spare is of no use as you do not know which one to buy and how to change

Hi Daniel.. I did not buy an extra battery for this unit. I did purchase 2 units and normally when I shoot outside I use only one light as a fill light and use reflectors. If one battery does not last long enough, I just simply use the battery in the second unit. So far I haven't needed more than just the one battery. I'm sure replacement or additional batteries are available. Thanks for your question....
